📚How to solve your own Murder📚
.
Hello bookstagram and happy new year! 🥳 Today I finished my first book of the year and let me say this I didn’t manage to find out who the real murderer was until it all made sense. So I’m still under shock about this information 😂 Which also means that the athor managed to get me hooked until the very end. Book 2 has already been ordered at my favorite bookstore so can’t wait to read what’s next in Castle Knoll 🤭

Thanks to my secret santa at work for this great pick! This book really managed to keep me entertained during these past few days of festive season.

Hello Bookstagram 🥰 . I’ve finished “Beach Rivals”

Hello Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’ve finished “Beach Rivals” a few days ago and absolutely loved it. It was just the perfect summer read! If you enjoy books by Emily Henry you’ll definitely need to try Tilney 😊
.
Synopsis: One bookshop in paradise. Two bitter rivals. A whole summer to get through...

Clare thought that by now she would have her life figured out. Instead, she's living with her parents, working a job she hates and has absolutely no idea what she wants to do with the rest of her life.

When she sees a viral job advert for a three-month bookseller position on a Bali beach, she jumps at the chance. But it's not until she arrives in Bali that Clare realises she won't be working in the bookshop alone.

Instead she's sharing the bookshop - and a flat - with a handsome but infuriating American man. Jack is Clare's opposite in almost every way, and it's not long before they're driving each other crazy. But fighting with Jack is also the most fun Clare's had in years, and it's only a matter of time before their relationship turns less than professional...

Beach Rivals is an escapist, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers rom com - the ideal summer read!

Hello #bookstagram 🥰
.
How are we doing today? I just finished the second book in the Dreamland Billionaires series and I quite enjoyed my reading journey 😍
.
The first book in this trilogy will still be my favourite 🤩 I just loved Rowan and Zahra are just my fave bookish couple! However, I must say that Declan and Iris aren’t too bad either. I especially loved their banter and how they got in this mess in the first place 😆 Let’s start the third book ASAP.

Hello Booksta 🥰
.
Today is my stop in the “The Society for Soulless Girls” Tour hosted by @tbrbeyondtours and I had a review as well as a moodboard planned over on my blog (link in my bio).
.
🔖 About the book:

A sapphic enemies-to-lovers retelling of Jekyll & Hyde, this dark academia thriller follows two roommates who must solve an infamous cold case of serial murders on their campus after an arcane ritual gone wrong prompts another death.
Ten years ago, four students lost their lives in the infamous North Tower murders at the elite Carvell College of Arts, forcing Carvell to close its doors.
Now Carvell is reopening, and fearless freshman Lottie is determined to find out what really happened. But when her beautiful but standoffish roommate, Alice, stumbles upon a sinister soul-splitting ritual hidden in Carvell’s haunted library, the North Tower claims another victim.
Can Lottie uncover the truth before the North Tower strikes again? Can Alice reverse the ritual before her monstrous alter ego consumes her? And will they give in to the ill-fated attraction that’s growing between them?
Exploring possession and ambition, lust and bloodlust, femininity and violence, The Society of Soulless Girls is perfect for fans of The Secret History, A Lesson in Vengeance, and The Grimrose Girls.

Content Warning: sexual harassment, on page animal death, suicide, self-harm, violence, murder, physical abuse

Rep: Rep: Sapphic, Queer, Asexual, Autistic, Neurodiverse
.
💭 My thoughts:

I really enjoyed my time reading this great sapphic enemies to Lovers retelling and just couldn’t get enough of the story. I absolutely loved the setting of the book and the dark academia game came out strong!

“The Society for Soulless Girls” is the perfect horror read for Halloween that I can highly recommend if you loved “The Grimrose Girls” and “Jekyll & Hyde”.

Good evening Bookstagram 🥰
.
I’ve finished “Something Fabulous” by Alexis Hall a few hours ago and really enjoyed this read. I’ve borrowed it on Kindle Unlimited so for those of you that are interested feel free to check this book out!
.
📑 - “I am, however,” Valentine continued, “uncertain that I’ll fit through the window.” Bonny’s fingers flickered, entirely unconcerned. “Of course you’ll fit. You’ll just have to wriggle a bit.” Valentine was about to explain, in no uncertain terms, that he did not wriggle.
.
💭- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Something Fabulous” is a witty and very entertaining queer read. I just couldn’t stop laughing at some passages and quite liked the writing of the author.

Good evening Bookstagram! 🥰
Today is my stop in the “Hatchet Girls” Blog Tour and I’ve already posted on my blog (link in bio)
.
I’ve really enjoyed this book and because I’ve been obsessed with the Lizzie Borden Files, it’s no surprise that I liked the setting of this book.
.
Synopsis:

For fans of Kara Thomas and Courtney Summers comes a supernatural horror that reminds us family can be our saving grace–or our biggest curse. Set one-hundred years after the Borden murders, this propulsive thriller imagines what a similar trial might look like today.

When the parents of the richest family in Fall River are found murdered by axe, the town is quick to blame newcomer Vik. It doesn’t help that he was caught standing over the bodies with blood on his hands and can’t remember anything about the night in question.

But Vik’s sister, Tessa, knows that Vik would never be capable of such a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family to Fall River in the first place, she sets out to prove her brother’s innocence.

Her search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, supposedly cursed forest, as well as the childhood home of Lizzie Borden—the original axe murderess of Fall River.

Content Warning: Violence, mentions of murder, blood, grief, abuse

Today I’m back with a bookish review as you can see above 🥰 I had lots of fun reading this book and really enjoyed my time.
.
💭 Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
A Taste of Limoncello was such an addictive read. It’s told in dual POV and tells us how Ava and Dax really feel, especially about each other 😜

This story strikes a nice balance between sweet and spicy and you can really feel the tension between our two MCs. As the story was partially set in Italy, the author also managed to make the whole reading experience feel like an escape from reality.

If you’re looking for something that’s sweet and spicy at the same time I can only recommend reading « A taste of Limoncello » 🍋
.

📚 What to expect:
🍷Workplace Romance
🍋One Bed
🍷Friends to Lovers
🍋Slow Burn with high heat
🍷Italian Travel Romance

📚All time favorite Duologies📚 . I’ve been thinking

📚All time favorite Duologies📚
.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Monsters of Verity Duology recently and just had to share these with you. I’ve read the Duology back in the day when the books first came out and I am still not over what happened. 😭 Why did you do this to me V.E Schwab? 😭😅
.
But on a more serious note: READ THIS DUOLOGY! Your heart will probably break but it is about monsters and their hunters so what else do you need to be happy? Definitely no heart and soul🤣 What are you waiting for? Go read it! and believe me you won’t be disappointed.
.
📖 Books featured:
- This Savage Song
- Our Dark Duet
by @veschwab @torbooks
.
💭 What’s this book about?
Dark Urban Fantasy about a divided city where you can find real monsters. Kate and August, our main protagonists couldn’t be any more different as one has to hunt the other and the monster amongst them wants nothing more than to become human or at least feel like it.
.
❔This duology came out a few years ago and I still remember everything that happened which actually says a lot about my reading experience 🤣 What about you have you read these and what js one of your favourite Duology ?
